They had him in the building and they let him go...

Ezra was in the building for the Game 1 of the Kings-Warriors and we talk about the atmosphere, the fans, and whether standing is OK at a basketball game. We then review big takeaways from weekend 1, including Austin Reaves aka Arkansas Kobe, the most likable Lakers team since the Showtime 80s, the Bucks...

We return from our post-NCAA March Madness hiatus with an action-packed pod, the longest one in High Jinx history. Previewing the NBA playoffs is the main focus, but we start with thoughts on the Rudy Gobert punch, the Mavs blatant (but understandable) tank job, and a Lakers team being actually kind of underdog-likable for the first-time in Lakers history. A 4-man NBA playoff draft commences where...

Fake NFL trades galore! We make predictions of trades for Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Aaron Rodgers, Cooper Kupp, and whether the Cowboys or Texans would say no to trading Dak Prescott straight up for #2 overall. Crystal Ball ensues where we predict Tom Brady's comeback song, and then quick hit on the NBA with the surging Milwaukee Bucks, Jarred Vanderbilt’s perfect fit with the Lake...

The fellas talk favorite all-time Super Bowls (00:30), Joe’s inaugural sports betting experience at 9 years old, best Super Bowl foods, and the ideal Super Bowl party setup. Then we get into unnecessary Super Bowl bets (23:19) where Kurtis is sensing blowout potential, Ezra likes a 3rd quarter prop bet, and Joe is on AJ Brown over 71.5 receiving yards and Isaiah Pacheco to get the 1st reception at...

The fellas recap Conference Championship Weekend in 60 seconds, check on the QB fallout in San Francisco, measure the Eagles' dominance, and ponder Joe Burrow's next contract before taking early bets on the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl matchup where Kurtis likes one team to win by 10+ points, invent a new sport involving speedos and avocados, and ponder life's important questions such as exactly how m...
